World of Warcraft: Forever has shot to the top of Twitch's most-watched games list, outpacing League of Legends and Zelda along the way — a strong signal that the launch is landing with viewers as well as players.

By Blizzard's own account, this is the smoothest launch the studio has managed in years, and the early numbers back that up.

One player is building a first-person mod for the game, pitched as a tribute to old-school RPGs such as Hexen and Morrowind.

Blizzard has teased console versions of World of Warcraft: Forever, saying players should be able to "play it wherever you want and, at some point, on whatever you want."

Xbox's Asha Sharma says demand is outstripping supply — "more demand than consoles available" — as Xbox hardware sales fall 14%.

The World of Warcraft: Forever beta has been extended, though community members are still mourning the loss of their hunter pets.

"You don't listen to the loudest people in the room," the World of Warcraft: Forever boss says, explaining how the team plans to handle the flood of feedback.

Blizzard is reworking the look of WoW: Forever's new Skyborne race after hearing from the community.
